Leave the bra on, but take off the hood section. Thats the way I have it on my 94 Z28.

I would LOVE to leave the bra off.

Unfortunately, the bra has been on there so long that the white is really discolored, although you can't tell it and it looks great in the picture.

I've never had the bra off in the 4 years that I've owned the car until today. Was nice being able to see the front nose emblem

Sure did. In a few hours time this afternoon/evening.

I think it turned out pretty good

Got rid of that nasty spot on the grill where the paint was missing.

I think it def looks better without as well- Unless the bra fits perfect and lies flat I think they look kinda sloppy.

But good job with the black- looks good from the pic and will prol look better than the white peeking out.

I liked it better before, now it just looks stock. I would ditch the bra nd have the front repainted, since it's white you dont even have to worry about matching colors.

Gotta love the car bras, they always make things worse because people leave them on constantly

The headlight buckets are an improvement, although I do think it would look better with the outer parts painted black too!

+1 On the leave the bra off platform. As should be the case for many things in life.

And take a picture of the whole car with the hood down, I want to see how this looks. Looks good on red97rs advatar.

The only time in 10 years of driving I've ever wished I had a bra on my car.


Unless you're going through conditions like that every day, I don't see the point of a bra. They look horrible, and it's the equivalent of wearing a parka at the beach.
